“False statement.”
Evidently, there’s a number of people who have said otherwise.
“Evidently, there’s a number of people who have said otherwise.”
No named person made any such accusation. Only “unnamed sources”.
From your article: “”What he talked about was he needed money to promote the endorsement and that that would be important to do that,” Santorum told CNN. “There was never a direct ask for me to go out and raise money for it.”
Asking money to publicize an endorsement is quite different from asking for money for yourself.
I don’t know Vander Plaats, but I know Trump accused him of taking $100,000 to arrange a Trump speech, and the organization said it was TRUMP who took $100,000 and Vander Plaats got $0.
That is an outside organization confirming Vander Plaats’ side, and directly contradicting who Trump said got the money.
Maybe Vander Plaats is dirty, but if so, it seems Trump is dirtier - taking money for a speech, then lying and saying Vander Plaats took it.
Trump is a fundamentally dishonest man. He lies about everything. He has had many failed businesses, and he has repeatedly lied about them. Why would ANYONE believe Donald Trump about anything?
